Re: GPS NEVER gets a lock!

Use the scan function of the GPS Viewer to determine whether your touch has the GPS on COM4: port. The Viewer gives 3 possible results:
- Open failed - Cannot open COMx: port
- Found GPS! - The software can communicate with the GPS hardware
- None - COMx: open, but cannot find GPS harware.

You need to make sure that your Touch "Found GPS!" before waiting outside... Otherwise, you are waiting your time because you have hardware/ROM problem.

My Touch sometime gives me "None". In this case, I have to soft reset my Touch before GPS working again.
